It’s Easter Sunday. A day of renewal, reflection, and, let’s be honest, consuming an unholy amount of chocolate. But beyond the sugar highs and celebratory feasts, today is time to circle back to the Throat Chakra. You know the one, the space of truth, expression, and the courage to finally say what needs to be said. After all this is the third time around with the Chakra.
It’s fitting, really. Easter is about resurrection, and what better way to honor that theme than by reviving my voice. And dusting off the words I’ve been afraid to speak and allowing myself to express fully and freely? And guiding me through this journey? Ta-da, Mercury, the planet of communication, intellect, and language is leading the way. If the Throat Chakra had a cosmic mentor, Mercury would be it. Of course it’s also pushing me to ask questions, seek understanding, and, most importantly, speak with clarity and purpose. At least that’s the plan.
Did you know that Mercury doesn’t just deal in words? It governs how I share them, at least that’s what Rachel’s guide reminded me today. And with that, the thoughts start rolling in. Am I speaking with honesty? Yes. And with kindness? With confidence? Or am I holding back, swallowing my truth for the sake of keeping the peace? (Spoiler: suppression isn’t peace—it’s just postponing inevitable discomfort.)
So today, I’m leaning in. I’m speaking my truth. Okay, technically, I’m writing it, but close enough, right? (Just go with it.) And in doing so, I’m embracing renewal, not just of spirit, but of voice. Because clarity isn’t just about saying what needs to be said. It’s about trusting that my truth deserves space in the world, no matter how it gets there.
Speaking Our Truth through Rest, Release & Renewal.
This morning’s cards made sure I got the message loud and clear. Let It Rain from the Healing Waters Oracle arrived like a knowing nod from the universe, reminding me that sometimes, the best thing I can do is let go. Let the words flow, let the emotions settle, let the truth spill out like a much-needed rainstorm, cleansing, freeing, and absolutely necessary.
Then came Growth from the Chakra Wisdom Oracle, nudging me toward expansion. Because truth isn’t just about speaking. No, it’s about evolving, about stepping into the fullness of who I am. Honest words have a way of shifting things, making space, clearing out emotional clutter. And let’s be honest, sometimes clutter feels comfortable, but that doesn’t mean it belongs.
And then, grounding it all, in today’s Bible verse: “I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
Rest. Release. Renewal.
It all connects because when I let my truth flow freely, I allow myself to breathe.
Speaking Our Truth through Mercury, The Messenger of Truth
If the Throat Chakra had a planetary guide, it would be Mercury, the ruler of communication, intellect, and expression. Mercury governs how I speak, how I listen, and how I process information. Did I know this before I started my trip around the chakras? Nope, but thanks to Rachel’s wisdom and the groups guidance here I am learning something new. When my Throat Chakra is balanced, my words flow with clarity and confidence. When it’s blocked, I hesitate, second-guess, or hold back.
Here it is, Mercury reminds me that words have power. They shape reality, build connections, and, when spoken with intention, can heal. But truth isn’t just about saying what’s on my mind. It’s about speaking with kindness, with awareness, with the understanding that words carry energy. Some words land like a comforting embrace. Others hit like a rogue dodgeball to the face. The challenge? Learning how to share truth in a way that feels real but also aligned with love.
Crystals & Essential Oils for the Throat Chakra
I’ve learned how crystals and essential oils can support my Throat Chakra and make self-expression feel more effortless. Crystals, like Blue Lace Agate, help ease tangled thoughts, encouraging calm and clarity. When I need courage to speak without fear, Aquamarine reminds me that honesty and kindness can coexist. And for deeper wisdom, Lapis Lazuli helps my words flow with confidence and purpose.
Essential oils work their magic too. Peppermint clears mental fog, Lavender calms emotional tension, and Eucalyptus sweeps away doubts. Using these tools feels like creating a ritual for my voice, reminding me that every word I speak is valuable and worth hearing.
A Meditation in Speaking Truth with Kindness
I close my eyes and take a deep breath.
Inhale: I welcome truth.
Exhale: I release fear.
I visualize a soft blue light at my throat, expanding with each breath. I imagine my words flowing effortlessly, clear, kind, unapologetic.
I speak with love. I speak with honesty. I speak with confidence.

Speaking Our Truth, Rest & Renewal
When I let my truth flow freely, I clear blockages that have kept me silent, whether from fear, doubt, or the overwhelming urge to keep the peace. But peace that comes at the expense of honesty isn’t real peace, it’s suppression. And suppression? That sticks. It lingers in the body, tightening my throat, making my words hesitant, turning the things I long to say into half-spoken sentences and swallowed truths.
So today, I invite my Throat Chakra to open. I let my voice stretch, take up room, and exist without apology. I allow myself to speak in ways that bring clarity, kindness, and confidence, because my words matter. And here’s the beautiful thing; when I release, when I speak, when I let my truth fall like rain instead of bottling it up, I am not just clearing energy for myself. I am inviting rest, real rest, the kind that comes from knowing I have honored my voice.
The challenge today is simple, but powerful: speak my truth. Not perfectly, not fearfully, not with the need to be right, just honestly.
Because, in the end, my voice is meant to be heard.
